    Description

    Dimnah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Dimnah, also referred to as Rimmon or Rimmono, was a city allotted to the Levites within the territory of the tribe of Zebulun (Joshua 21:35; 1Ch.6.77). It was one of the cities given to the Merarite clan of the Levites for their dwelling (1Ch.6.77). The city is also mentioned in Joshua 19:13 as part of the border description of Zebulun's territory. The name "Rimmon" means "pomegranate," possibly indicating the presence of pomegranate trees in the area. The exact location of Dimnah/Rimmon/Rimmono is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the region of Galilee, within the allotted territory of Zebulun.

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
